These fabricated RFD's are really terrible. C'mon people, it's not that hard to cheat in a way that ensures your vote can't be mod removed. You're all better than that.

Here's how to do it. Copy and paste the following and fill in the blanks.

(1) Better arguments

(Pro or Con)'s ____________ (insert a specific argument made here) was the most convincing one because it best upheld the resolution and was insufficiently refuted by (other side),

(2) Better sources

(Pro or Con) had better sources overall. I particularly liked (Pro or Con)'s source #2 from Round 2: it really solidified the issue and shows excellent research skills by (Pro or Con). I checked (other side's) source #3 from Round 2 and it didn't entirely support what he was saying, so (Pro or Con) wins sources. [don't worry, there are almost always 3 sources per side in Round 2, so just copy paste this].

(3) Better S&G

(other side)'s case was riddled with spelling mistakes. For example, ______ (insert one example, even if there is only one).

(4) Better conduct

I thought it was disrespectful of (other side) to argue with voters in the comments section [don't worry, this will always apply]. Therefore, I awarded conduct points to (Pro or Con).

So from now on, if you're going to cheat, please copy/paste this model. If you're going to vote strategically, at least do it well. And ensure your vote actually counts.

I enjoy this tremendously. The ultimate issue is that there are some people who are always going to give sh!t RFD's, and we can see through the fact that they are sh!t because we know what sh!t looks like and what it does not.

At the end of the day, this speaks to why I will never open-vote a debate again... which is sad, but that's just how it has to be.

Aww, I thought this might be about lying. I am fascinated by lying, especially lies we tell ourselves and relationship-related lies. Here's a nice ted talk about spotting liars. Youtube has a number of good videos on lying, but many of them are quite long (heads-up).

I think you're lying about being fascinated by lying. But maybe not. Tell your story in reverse... Start with the last thing first.

lol. But yeah the science of lying is fun. It's funny how liars try to heard to appear not to be lying, which is what gives them away to trained interrogators (i.e. too much eye contact, over explaining).

Also, on that new show with Rainn Wilson where he's a cop, they say if you ever answer a question with "absolutely not" you're lying. Thought that was funny.
